Whenever I did meth and started pissing dark red pee my eyes would become so bad at focusing I needed strong reading glasses to read my monitor.

I heard eyeballs are full of liquid and it made me wonder - are my eyes being canalised for water due to the meth induced dehydration?

P.S. I mention meth because there's a big difference in severity between normal dehydration - which is bad - and meth-induced which is 10xTERRIBLE but less easily spotted.

I don't know but anything that makes my pee dark red I'd avoid

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Doing meth would change your attitude.

[–] crypticthree@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or not. Did it once and I hated it.

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk -2 points 2 years ago

Skill issue.

[–] squid_slime@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I was tricked into taking meth10 years ago, fucking awful but also holyshit what a crazy time!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you seriously advocating to people that they try meth?

Surely this is in violation of some user conduct rules or something.

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jesus fucking christ. Take shit you see online less seriously.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So you aren't? Meth is no joke.

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No I've done meth but if you#'re taking life advice from a recovering meth addict online who's being sarcastic you need to hand in your license to life because you're a fucking moron that would cut themselves on mouldy bread.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

I'm not. But others might.

You need to relax, holy shit. Take a step back, putz.

Also who the f says "hand in your license to life" lmao. Like that's a way to say I should kill myself or something? Really nice dude, you are. 🥸 What a clown.

Why u pissing blood, thats not a usual side effect of stimulant usage...

Were you injecting in your dick?

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Stimulants raise your blood pressure. If you add that you start dehydrated which means the kidneys are already working hard to filter, it could be causing severe kidney damage. They probably have years of abusing their organs.

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

They probably have years of abusing their organs.

Mmmmm I love the taste of tenderised organs in my saliva.

It didn't used to happen when I first did meth. But it happens after ~3 days of smoking meth and no water. I just forget to drink or eat for 3+ days and have one long piss after no pissing for 3 days either. So it could be bladder injury or just fucked kidneys? I dunno. I don't really care tbh. It could also just be VERY dark yellow to the point of being reddish-brown? Cos of the sheer quantity it can make the colour even darker.

I've filled 1.5x 1L bottles before with piss. That's 1500ml which is higher than the male limit of 800ml. So maybe my bladder is stretched to bleeding point?

There was a kinda catharsis knowing I was destroying my body. I've failed at suicide for 20yrs so fucking myself completely in other ways is a kind of sick-comfort.

I don't do meth anymore, though I miss the damage it caused.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Just drink more water, Jesus. You honestly sound like u bragging. Make yourself drink a shot glass of water before each subsequent smoke

Or, even better, make the first drink good fish oil with almond milk shot or any kind of milk to give you something good for your brain in-before the water shots

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes I'm bragging about fucking my body you well-oiled grape.

I doubt it. I feel like there's easier places for your body to get water. I imagine it has more to do with your eyes not focusing or dilating as easy and maybe to do with the amount you are blinking potentially.

I feel like if meth shrunk eyeballs or otherwise harvested their moisture they would have used that in drug prevention programs they run at middle schools.

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know nothing about meth but dry eyes can cause poor eyesight even without dehydration.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Meth can also cause paranoia...

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

You doing better these days, homie?

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Eyes need lubrication to function properly so dehydration will impact them. I know when I’m lacking sleep and it’s hot at work I have trouble with focusing on things when I get home. I assume due to not producing enough tears which increase the amount of friction in your eyes and increasing the effort requires to move them around.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Dehydration causes eyeball shrinkage. When you are dehydrated, your body overall takes up less volume.

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm no doctor, but I'm told dehydration causes vision problems. As your said, eyeballs are balls of liquid. When you're dehydrated they don't work right.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Eyball fluid sounds like the last resort for your body to get liquids from
